Thanks for contributing to the article Kenneth Eaton. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 14:47, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * He was my father: these changes are all fact, and I'm pretty sure I'm a reliable source. I don't know how to add inline citations - if you need references for the changes, please let me know what, rather than simply erasing them all. 185.239.32.101 (talk) 15:05, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd add that things like the 1990 new years honours list where he was given his KCB can easily be verified from the Wikipedia page relating to the 1990 new years honours list! 185.239.32.101 (talk) 15:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:RS as previously requested. Wikipedia cannot be used as a source. Also please read Edit warring. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 15:56, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make sense - if you will only have entries on Wikipedia that have been verified, why can't these be used as a source? 185.239.32.101 (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added a couple of citations - if you're happy with these, I will add more - the trouble is, I have an email from the Navy board with citations for the majority of the other changes, but not sure how I cite this, as it is a private communication - happy for your help with this 185.239.32.101 (talk) 16:31, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The citations from the Telegraph are fine (I have tidied them up) but you cannot use an email from the Navy Board: wikipedia only allow "published sources" and, in any case, you should not be publishing emails from the Navy Board without permission from the MoD.

 * I wasn't suggesting that I going to a private email, that would be stupid. The point is that I have the information, but cannot share it, so what do I use?  I was asking for your help.
 * Thanks for the tidying up - that article can be used for a number of other citations, so I will go through (you'll probably have to tidy up again). There will be a separate obituary in the Times, so that too can be used for other facts.
 * BTW, whilst you know that it is true, as it came from a reliable source, so please don't remove it, the citation link for what is now citation 8 doesn't work any more. 185.239.32.101 (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have now sorted citation 8. Dormskirk (talk) 17:55, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
